    A person wearing a red life vest and communications headset observes a makeshift wooden raft with a white sail from a nearby vessel. The raft appears to be a rudimentary, improvised watercraft constructed from wood planks and what appears to be a rusted metal hull or barrels for flotation. The scene appears to be a maritime interdiction or rescue situation on open blue-green ocean waters.
